Who Are We?
Reality of Change works to advance sustainability across the entertainment industry both on-screen and behind the camera.
Originating in the unscripted community, our team comes from within the business and understands both the creative and commercial realities of making shows that resonate. We help productions, writers, and producers surface sustainability in ways that are authentic to their stories and audiences, while supporting studios and networks with their broader sustainability goals.
Through research partnerships, multi-field collaborations, and practical tools, we make it easier to reflect real-world values audiences already care about, and to do so in ways that strengthen engagement, relevance, and trust.
As our work expands across genres and creative communities, we remain focused on what entertainment does best: connecting with people, reflecting their lives, and evolving in step with what audiences want.
